According to Mundo Deportivo, Cardoso has resumed on-field training with the ball, and he hopes to be ready for the first La Liga match.

The report states that Atletico Madrid held their second pre-season training session at the sports city this Tuesday. The focus of this training was not only on new midfielder Hjulmand, who completed his first full training session under Simeone.

After the team's warm-up, they went to pitch 4 for training, and Johnny Cardoso was seen on the adjacent pitch. The midfielder has been troubled by a right ankle injury for a long time and missed the end of last season due to the injury. The club confirmed that he chose to undergo surgery, missing the World Cup held in the United States, which shows his commitment to the team.

The club estimated that he would need at least 3 months to recover, but now, just 9 weeks later, the player has already stepped onto the grass. He trained with his shoes on, accompanied by a rehabilitation therapist. After completing warm-up exercises, Cardoso performed short-distance movements and ball touches.

His recovery process and joint training rhythm will progress gradually, but the player himself and the entire team hope that he can make it to the first La Liga match.
